Halloween is the perfect time to transform your front porch into a spooky, festive space.
I had way too much fun creating this eye-catching Halloween arch decoration featuring skulls and fall flowers. I’m sharing a step-by-step guide to help you craft your own spooky arch that combines creepy charm with autumnal beauty.
Materials Needed:
- PVC (1/2 inch piping)Â
- Artificial skullsÂ
- Fall flowers & vines (orange, red, yellow chrysanthemums, mums, sunflowers, etc.)
- Weatherproof glue or zip ties
- Halloween-themed decorative accents (I used flameless candles, pumpkins, & a wreath)
Step 1: Set Up the Frame
Start by securing your PVC piping in your desired location on the front porch. Make sure it’s stable and tall enough to create a dramatic entrance.
Step 2: Attach the Skulls
Place the skulls strategically along the frame, securing them with zip ties or weatherproof glue. For a more eerie effect, position some skulls so they appear to be peering out or hanging from the arch. Mix sizes and angles for a natural, haunting look.
Step 3: Add Fall Flowers & Vines
Arrange fall flowers and greenery around the skulls and along the frame. Use floral wire or zip ties to attach the flowers securely. Opt for warm-toned blooms like orange chrysanthemums, yellow sunflowers, and deep red blooms to enhance that autumn vibe while maintaining a spooky Halloween theme.
Step 4: Decorate with Extras
Enhance your arch with Halloween-themed accents. I chose some fun pumpkins, a wreath for my front door, and these candles from Amazon.Â
Step 6: Final Touches
Step back and inspect your creation. Adjust the placement of flowers, skulls, and decorations to ensure everything looks balanced and spooky. Turn on the candles or porch light on at night to really make your Halloween arch stand out.
Enjoy Your Spooky Entrance!
